The least realistic thing about Entourage is the four guys being together so often

Whenever anybody asked me about the realistic stuff of the show, the thing I always said was the least realistic thing is that four guys would be together this often.

Eli Manning was the biggest 'celebrity problem' for Entourage because he ghosted the production after requesting a cameo.

The real biggest problem I had was Eli Manning. ... After they won the Super Bowl... my cell phone rings and it's Eli Manning. He's like, 'It's my favorite show, I want to be on it.' I'm like, 'Well, then you're on it.' Now cut to six months later... Eli does not call me back. I've now written a script... I'm calling his agents. Nothing.

I almost killed off Vinnie Chase in the series finale

I thought about killing Vince to end the show. ... Mark [Wahlberg] sat me down and goes, we're going to make a movie. We're going to make a Broadway show. We're going to make an animated show. You can't fucking kill Vince. So that ultimately was probably the right decision.

Men still talk the way characters in Entourage do, despite critical claims that the dialogue has gone out of favor.

Of course guys still talk this way. ... My defense of these four guys or five was that they were really all good guys and they were all about each other and they weren't predators... so you can take it or leave it but that's what it was.
